Firebase and other google's sites
Firebase official site as well as some other google's sites looks terrible in firefox. Sometimes it is also hard to use them therefore. So I am forced to use another browser for them (Chrome and Opera work fine), but I need to login in my accounts, and save bookmarks, because I work a lot with google services. I have written feedback to problematic sites, but obviously there is no interest for google to make their sites to work correctly with firefox, they've got Chrome which is most popular now all over the web. So I will have to migrate to Chrome too.

I can see the problem with the overwriting. It looks like something is off with how the page is displayed.

If the problem is resolved, you should check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in these Knowledge base articles:
The page at the first link uses a custom font set called Material Icons to replace "expand_less" with a caret and 'star' with a star, etc. See attached screenshot.
So that raises the question, is there some reason both of your Firefoxes are not loading the font file:

For example, do you have some kind of add-on or external software that blocks content from some Google servers?

Thanks for quick response and advises. I use firefox on this computer a long time, it has come through a lot of updates and plugins, so I decided to just reinstall it. Now everything work fine, thanks again.
